In Processing i am displaying a line(x,y,z) with opengl. Now i want to use that as a graphic for printing it. But first, it looks very bad (how can i upload pictures here?) and secondly how can i save it in print quality (300 dpi)? Thanks a lot!

This library has the TileSaver class which let you save a high-res images from a frame. Also use smooth() in the setup() method to enable antialiasing.
